Hi Tom, Everything has it's place in a network. Be it an ISA box, a PIX, or a UNIX/Windows box with IPCHAINS/ICS and firewall. Best tool for the job is always a good way to do things. -----Original Message----- From: Thomas W Shinder [mailto:tshinder@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, October 01, 2004 8:32 AM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: Rules http://www.ISAserver.org Hi Troy, Bingo, Bango, Bongo! You get the brass ring on that one. What amazes me is that people pay good money for the ISA firewall and then dumb it down to a PIXoid or Netscream like packet filter box. :( Tom www.isaserver.org/shinder Get the book!

If the point is to be ultra secure, then block all. If the point is the hacker/virus speed bump, then open all..... Personally, it's not even a question.... If you're going to open everything up, Black Ice Defender and ICS would have been a much cheaper solution... =?) -----Original Message----- From: Jim Harrison [mailto:jim@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, October 01, 2004 12:18 AM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: Rules http://www.ISAserver.org Hear-hear. The idea that "I'll open everything and only block what I need to" will keep you hopping as you try to keep up with the 1d10t applications that think they're smarter than you (Kazaaa, BearShare, etc.). Lock it down and only open what you need to. Jim Harrison MCP(NT4, W2K), A+, Network+, PCG http://isaserver.org/Jim_Harrison/ http://isatools.org Read the help / books / articles!

Also, is there a need to make servers like internal webservers, domain controllers, exchange etc any kind of client. Is it ok if I just make all my servers as SECURENAT (no proxy and no firewall clients on any servers ) ? if the servers are not initiating any connections. is there a need for them to be a client ? I am a littler confused on this..
